According to Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA):
Drivers have a duty to pedestrians to exercise reasonable care under the circumstances. When they fail in that duty, it can cause deadly pedestrian accidents. Common ways in which negligent drivers cause pedestrian accidents include:
To recovery compensation for pedestrian accident injuries in Indiana, you must prove that you were no more than 50% at fault for the accident. If it is determined that you had 50% or less fault for the accident, your recovery can still be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. Drivers who caused pedestrian accidents will almost always try to assign some degree of fault to the injured pedestrian in an effort to reduce the recovery.
